“ Decided to get a bite to eat and watch the race from their bar. Their draft beer selection was impeccable. They had a lot of draft to select from. Willing to give you a sample. I ordered. I do believe pretzel sticks for an appetizer. They came out nice, hot and crunchy and worth worth every penny and every one of them. I had the item I posted which was suggested by the bartender. It was very tender, very flavorful and worth every bit of the money. The bartenders are very talkative, personable and very chatty which made me sitting at the bar by myself. Feel like I was one of the staff. Highly recommend that you take this unique gem and go give it a try! ”
“ Best food and service we've had in ages. Really enjoyed the cheesesteak , steamed shrimp, onion rings and cream of crab. We were visiting "home" and friends in the area from Florida. ”
“ We stumbled upon this place leaving a nearby competition headed back towards Annapolis. We walked into the carry out section first without knowing there was a cover band and restaurant downstairs. The guys upstairs were sooooo nice and managed to get us a table for 6. We had some amazing, hot, and fresh food including the crabs. Everyone here was so friendly and nice. We felt very comfortable and welcomed. ”

“ Stopped by for a quick drink and ran into a great band by accident. Animal Magnetism. Scorpions cover band. Damn they were good. There is nothing like the sound of heavy metal guitars thru Marshall Amps. What a great surprise it was and got me fired up for some 80s hairband music. Stables is well known for the bands and its a great atmosphere. ”
“ Very clean, sincerely friendly and very attentive service! Crabs were excellent! They were heavy, cooked perfect, nicely aligned and served on a tray- (not just a messy pile or dumped on the table as so many other places do), crayfish were surprisingly big and cooked just right, also well spiced The blooming onion is a must, almost addictive We went on a Monday evening, nice atmosphere and quiet. The bathrooms were spotless - literally! pay with cash! - it's less than with card ”
